The GOALKING Academies are now year-round training schools for youth soccer players in the Edmonton Region, for field players and goalkeepers. GOALKING Academies are endorsed by the Alberta Soccer Association, with a 3-Star Endorsement for the established GOALKING Goalkeepers Academy, and with the new GOALKING Soccer Academy already with a 1-Star Endorsement at its opening.

GOALKING Soccer Academy is the new GOALKING training program for field players. GOALKING has put together a top-notch Licensed Coaching staff, including former Professional players (such as a former Uganda National Women’s Team player), with many years of experience training and coaching youth soccer players in different countries.

The Mission of the GOALKING Academies is to provide basic to advanced training to youth who wish to improve and master technical and tactical abilities to compete at higher-level soccer competitions in our Edmonton Region or beyond. GOALKING Academies are independent from any soccer team or Club, but the Academies function as a complement to teams or clubs for players who want to develop to the top of their potential.

Several GOALKING Goalkeeper Academy trainees have already advanced in their soccer careers by being accepted or serving as tryalists in youth Regional programs of the Alberta Soccer Association (Winter Program, Alberta Team, REX, etc.), and GOALKING Soccer Academy is set up to lead to the same opportunities for its field player trainees.

On behalf of all the GOALKING family, I want to congratulate Padon Schwartz and his family for Padon's invitation for official tryouts with the MLS Montreal Impact Academy in January 2019 in Montreal!

This is a great achievement, placing you at the top level in terms of your soccer skills and your dedication to training. GOALKING Academy is so proud to have been part of your training these past seasons.

I want to share with all of you the latest success story from one of our GOALKING members. Yesterday, Caitlyn Ledgerwood (KC) signed her contract with the University of Alberta Pandas women’s team starting in Fall 2019. The amazing part is that she has just started Grade 12, and the Pandas have had her sign a year in advance to secure her with a full scholarship at the U of A for the duration of her 4-year degree, a full year before she finishes high school. KC has attended multiple GOALKING programs for more than 3 years now, in addition to her weekly training time with me through SW STING and ST. ALBERT IMPACT. Before KC joins the U of A Pandas in 2019, KC was selected to be part of this Winter season of the 2018-19 Alberta North Regional EXCEL Centre (REX) program, which is a feeding program for women soccer players to potentially play for the women’s Canada team; this is a very prestigious program of the Canadian Soccer Association and the Alberta Soccer Association to which only 26 women players from Northern Alberta are selected.

We are very proud and pleased to see the level to which our youth players can get with hard and consistent work. Everybody can have access to National, Provincial, and City soccer programs, but it is up to you to work hard to merit these opportunities.

Congratulations to everybody who contributed to KC’s achievements, and congratulations to all the GOALKING family for another success story from one of our hard-working members.

Once again, the Elite GK Training camp with SoccerPlus will be at beautiful NORTHFIELD-MOUNT HERMON in Northfield, Massachusetts, close to Boston. For SoccerPlus coaches and trainers, this is their favorite and most exciting camp of the season. This camp is scheduled from August 5th to the 9th in order to avoid conflicts with season finals and provincials.

The invitation is for our goalkeepers and field players, as the SoccerPlus camp in Northfield includes a separate training camp for field playe

This camp is for U10 to U22.

To attend this camp, you do not have to be a top player, as the camps have two different levels. One thing is for sure: the camp will help you improve, whatever level you are at. A number of players from GOALKING programs who have attended SoccerPlus camps in the USA in the last two years afterwards advanced in their soccer careers here in Canada: four went on to ASA Winter Program and one to the U of A Junior Pandas.

GOALKING is announcing a very exciting soccer camp for this December 23, 26 & 27 with Daryl Fordyce, FC Edmonton's top scorer in Club history: Attackers Vs Goalkeepers Camp. Details about the camp will be release soon. #GOALKING Goalkeeper Academy!

Last winter he was selected to play in the ASA Winter Program, and also invited to join the ASA Alberta Provincial Team squad.
